Jeffrey Deitch is pleased to announce Still Life, a solo exhibition of new work by Los Angeles-based artist Kohshin Finley. Marking his most ambitious presentation to date, the exhibition brings together monumental oil portraits integrated with ceramic vessels, seamlessly merging painting, poetry, sculpture, and design into an immersive installation rooted in memory, material, and personal mythology.

Finley, whose Black-Mexican identity and upbringing in Los Angeles anchor his practice, returns to Jeffrey Deitch after his celebrated inclusion in Shattered Glass (2021). With Still Life, he deepens his commitment to portraying his community through a lens of tenderness and truth, presenting a series of lifesized portraits framed in handcrafted walnut vitrines, which also house vessels of his own making. This exhibition extends his formal language of transparency and layering, allowing the understructure of charcoal, gesso, and gestural poetry to surface as both visual and emotional code.
